Ghent, Flanders, Belgique SENTEA Fiber Optic Sensing Temps plein


Sentea is growing, and we are looking for a Photonics Production Technician to strengthen our production team. 


As a Photonics Production Technician, you will be closely involved in the manufacturing and testing of our photonics-based sensing systems. You will work across the complete production flow: from incoming inspection of photonic integrated circuits to precision fiber attachment, subsystem testing and final system qualification. 


This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working with advanced technology, precision assembly and measurement equipment, and who takes pride in delivering high-quality products. 


What will you do? 


Your responsibilities will include: 


  • Incoming Quality Control (IQC) of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and other critical components 
  • Precision fiber attachment to photonic chips, including alignment, bonding and verification 
  • Performing predefined optical and electrical measurements on wafers and individual chips 
  • Assembly and quality control of photonic and electronic subassemblies 
  • Assembly and integration of complete sensing systems 
  • Execution of system-level functional and performance tests 
  • Outgoing Quality Control (OQC) before products are released for shipment 
  • Correctly recording and documenting production and measurement results 
  • Identifying deviations or production issues and escalating them to the engineering team 
  • Supporting the improvement of production, assembly and test procedures 
  • Working according to established production procedures, work instructions and quality processes 


Who are we looking for? 


We are looking for someone with a strong technical background who enjoys practical and precise engineering work. 


Ideally, you have: 


  • A Bachelor's degree in engineering, electronics, electromechanics, photonics or a related technical field, or equivalent experience 
  • A hands-on and accurate way of working 
  • Experience with measurement equipment, laboratory work or a technical production environment 
  • Affinity with optics, photonics, electronics or precision assembly 
  • A strong quality mindset and good attention to detail 
  • The ability to follow technical procedures and work instructions consistently 
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work closely with both production and engineering teams 


Experience with photonic integrated circuits, fiber-optic components, active optical alignment or automated test equipment is a plus, but not a requirement. 


What we offer 


At Sentea, you will work in a growing deep-tech company developing advanced fiber-optic sensing technology based on silicon photonics. 


You will have the opportunity to work directly with cutting-edge photonic technology and contribute to turning advanced technology into reliable products. As part of a small and multidisciplinary team, you will have a varied role covering precision assembly, testing and quality control across different stages of the production process.
